Day 1:
The plane has landed in Munich, we’ve gotten our luggage, and it was time for the fun to begin. Our first stop was Dachau concentration camp. Between 1933 and 1945 200,000 people were interned there, over 40,000 died. We toured the grounds and saw where the prisoners lived, worked, and were tortured. It was a chilly, misty, day so you really got the eerie feeling of what we were seeing. We went into the gas chambers, the crematorium, and the museum/memorial they now have.
Straight from Dachau we went over to Olympiapark where the 1972 Olympics were held. The park is huge and the buildings are quite impressive. From the top of the Olypmic tower you could get a real sense of where the Olympic games were played. On our way back to the bus, we stopped at the beer garden that was next to the beautiful stadium. From the stadium, we got back on to the bus and headed to Hotel.
Hotel Novotel was wonderful and it was only a block away from the tram that takes you into the middle of the town.

Day 1 Blog – Munich Arrival:
My experience getting to JFK in New York wasn’t the best, but after 4 stops, 2 canceled flights, my luggage going missing, and a 50 minute cab ride to JFK… I met the most amazing teammates and new friends. We quickly clicked and came up with nicknames, before jumping on the plane and heading on our 7 hour flight to Paris, France.
On the plane we slept and had dinner before arriving in Paris. We ended up sprinting from our arriving terminal to the departing terminal. When jumping on the plane we quickly took off from Munich, Germany.
Upon arrival in rainy Munich, we quickly boarded the bus and began taking in the scenery and culture. We quickly visited Dachau concentration camp. It was very interesting to truly walk through history and experience it first-hand where so many events happened in the Holocaust.
After Dachau, we checked into our hotel after 24 hours of travel, we can’t even believe how a shower felt even though they lost my luggage. We all got ready and then went to dinner, we experiences and authentic German cuisine. After dinner all of the girls spent time getting to know each other before heading to bed. Tomorrow we bike through the beautiful city of Munich.

Italy Softball Tour – Days 1 – 7 Blogs by Players
June 7, 2011
Day One:
Roma! Roma! Roma! Right off the plane we headed on our tour bus and saw one of the greatest historical landmarks: the coliseum; it is unbelievable how large and detailed the structure is, it is amazing that such a remarkable building was built so long ago and still stands today. We then ventured for lunch and I had the best pizza I have ever had; just imagine melted cheese, perfectly seasoned sauce and crust with just enough crunch! Then we went to the fountain of Trevi where many of our girls threw in coins wishing for true love; it was here we had our first taste of gelato, the cream of the crop in terms of ice cream. We ended the day with a great team meal at the hotel and most of the girls falling asleep almost in their plate from a full day of activity and exhaustion. Read more
